Los Angeles is set to host a new event focused on the rapidly changing relationship between artificial intelligence and the creator economy.
AI Creator Day takes place September 29 at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, bringing creators, filmmakers, digital storytellers, entrepreneurs and technology leaders together for a full day of discussions, demonstrations and workshops.
The event is being presented by TheWrap and What’s Trending as part of a larger two-day gathering focused on entertainment, media and technology.
What Is AI Creator Day?
AI Creator Day is designed to give creators and entertainment professionals a closer look at how artificial intelligence is being used in creative work.
Instead of focusing only on the debate surrounding AI, organizers say the event will feature practical demonstrations, creator case studies, workshops and conversations about real-world creative workflows.
The programming covers areas including AI-generated media, storytelling, creator businesses, digital content and the growing role of technology in Hollywood.
The Event Takes Over the DGA Theater
The inaugural event is scheduled for September 29 at the DGA Theater Complex on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
The venue is a familiar location for Hollywood industry events, screenings and private receptions. The DGA Theater Complex includes professional screening facilities and is located at 7920 Sunset Boulevard.
AI Creator Day is scheduled to run ahead of TheGrill, TheWrap’s annual entertainment and technology conference, which returns September 30.
Live AI Demos and Creator Workshops
One of the biggest parts of AI Creator Day will be its hands-on programming.
The schedule includes live AI demonstrations, creator case studies, workshops and sessions focused on practical tools and workflows. Organizers are also planning an AI Content Lab and a closing keynote conversation.
Adobe, Fox and the Interactive Advertising Bureau are among the organizations included in the event’s expanded lineup. Additional participants include 11:11 Media, Fairground Entertainment and pocket.watch.
Hollywood and the Creator Economy Meet AI
The event comes as artificial intelligence becomes a bigger part of the entertainment business.
Creators are experimenting with AI for everything from video production and digital storytelling to marketing and audience growth. At the same time, Hollywood companies and technology firms are developing new tools aimed at creative professionals.
AI Creator Day brings those groups together in one room, giving creators and industry executives an opportunity to discuss how the technology is being used in actual projects.
Who Is Behind AI Creator Day?
The event was created through a partnership between TheWrap and What’s Trending.
TheWrap founder and CEO Sharon Waxman and What’s Trending founder and CEO Shira Lazar are hosting the event.
An inaugural host committee includes AI creator Willonius “King Willonius” Hatcher, entrepreneur Ben Relles, AR creator Paige Piskin, Infinite Studios co-founder Adrienne Lahens and Cinemalistics co-founder Doug Scott.
Why the Event Is Getting Attention
AI Creator Day arrives at a moment when entertainment companies, independent creators and digital platforms are all experimenting with new ways to make and distribute content.
The event also gives creators an opportunity to see demonstrations of emerging tools instead of simply hearing about artificial intelligence through industry headlines.
Its location in Los Angeles puts the conversation directly in the middle of the American entertainment industry.
AI Creator Day Leads Into TheGrill
The event serves as the opening day of TheWrap’s expanded two-day programming.
After AI Creator Day on September 29, TheGrill takes place September 30 at the DGA Theater Complex. The second day brings together executives, creators, investors and entertainment leaders for conversations about the future of Hollywood, media and technology.
The two events create a broader look at how technology is changing the entertainment business, from the way content is created to how audiences discover and consume it.
AI Creator Day Takes Place September 29
AI Creator Day is scheduled for Tuesday, September 29, in Los Angeles.
Attendance is limited, with access available through confirmed invitations and a limited application process.
For creators and entertainment professionals watching the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, the event puts the focus on something increasingly practical: how these tools are being used to create the next generation of digital entertainment.
